00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:06.799
Eric Renner here, Breaking News, Los Angeles. Welcome to our
2
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:11.919
Saturday night edition. Here our Saturday Night show. We had
3
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:16.920
a very big news week this last week, several big stories.
4
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:21.399
They caught the lunatic who burned down half of Pacific
5
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:26.440
Palisades and killed eleven people, and they found that creep
6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.399
in Florida. We're going to get to him next week.
7
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:31.239
We're going to get an update, hopefully from Kieran McAvoy
8
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.640
over at the Department of Justice. I know they're going
9
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:38.799
to be extraditing him from Florida. But this week, you know,
10
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.880
the big story really in many ways was this Sean Diddy.
11
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.039
Combe's character.
12
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:50.960
Just some hip hop rapper, a hip hop mogul they
13
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:57.759
called him, and very big star, a real big celebrity name,
14
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.000
and he got into some very big trouble. He found
15
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:08.120
himself with a federal rico charge. Basically, well, what happened here,
16
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:13.200
we'll just go backwards here. On July second, a federal
17
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:17.719
jury found Combs not guilty of racketeering conspiracy that's basically
18
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:22.480
greco and sex trafficking charges, but guilty on two counts
19
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:27.280
of transportation for purposes of prostitution that's violation of the
20
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:33.359
Man Act. Very few people have been charged with the
21
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.040
Man Act in recent years. Basically that means you're moving
22
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.159
people from one state to the next to have sex
23
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.480
with them. So this is what this guy was charged with.
24
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.760
The investigated. The investigation started on March twenty fifth, twenty
25
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:53.519
twenty four. Federal agents questioned Combs at the Miami Airport
26
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.239
sees a number of his devices before allowing him to
27
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.359
leave on his plantacation. The same day, Joe Biden's Department
28
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.959
of Homeland Security agents they raided Combe's properties in la
29
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.840
New York and Miami. They confiscated computers. They came in
30
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:15.039
with all these guns. It was almost I means they
31
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.240
came in looking for war, ready for war.
32
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:18.919
Now.
33
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.719
What they ended up finding in Combs's homes was various
34
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:27.000
narcotics like ketamine, ecstasy, the GHB drug, as.
35
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.000
Well as a number of weapons, including three illegally.
36
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.759
Modified AR fifteens. They found a lot of lubricant, a
37
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:38.000
lot of baby oil. So on the twenty fourth, I'm sorry,
38
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.159
on the sixteenth of September twenty twenty four, did he
39
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:46.879
was indicted by this grand jury on three counts of felonies, racineering, conspiracy,
40
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.319
sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. He was arrested
41
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.639
by US Homeland Security investigators in Manhattan. Now he spent
42
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:00.840
thirteen months basically in Federal County jail. This is the
43
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:06.080
Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. It's a disgusting place. They
44
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.319
don't let you go outside. So the guy hasn't basically
45
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:14.400
been outside in thirteen months now on Now again, the
46
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.800
trial happened. The government couldn't prove their case. Basically, they
47
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:24.479
embarrassed themselves and wasted every buddy's time with us.
48
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.919
This really wasn't a Rico case.
49
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.639
So what we're having, So what we have here.
50
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:33.879
Is now a verdict.
51
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.719
They came back, the jury came back with the not
52
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.240
guilty verdict on the RICO. They came back guilty on
53
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.400
the Man Act, and he was facing twenty years. This
54
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:48.759
is according to the federal sentencing guidelines. The judge came
55
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:50.439
in on the lower end.
56
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.199
Of these guidelines.
57
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.479
So he came in basically and about I believe five
58
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:02.280
fifty months, and so that's about about four point two
59
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:09.840
five years I'm sorry, fifty one months. And basically you
60
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:14.479
can subtract the thirteen months that he's already done for
61
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.600
in county jail, in federal county jail, so he's looking
62
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:19.600
at about three.
63
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.639
Years on this sentence.
64
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:26.639
And what we have now is a situation where the
65
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.560
judge basically acted like.
66
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.000
Another juror, a member of the juror.
67
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:36.800
He took it upon himself to sentence this man and
68
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:38.879
give him a taste of celebrity justice.
69
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:40.560
He saw a tape.
70
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:42.920
There was a tape that was shown to the jury
71
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:48.600
of did he Comb's beating up his girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
72
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.240
It was a disgusting tape.
73
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.360
Everyone saw it and it really angered the jury and
74
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.360
the judge. But the truth of the matter is he
75
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:04.079
wasn't convin on beating up his girlfriend. He was convicted
76
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:10.839
of this man act, but sentenced basically on the contents
77
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:15.360
of this video and of course the other testimony where
78
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:20.959
he basically was accused of raping male escorts, having kinky
79
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:26.000
sex parties in the hills there, and doing a lot
80
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:29.839
of sleazy things that are just not even worth mentioning
81
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.480
here on this show. It's all been out there, but
82
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.040
that's what the judge sentenced him.
83
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:35.399
Now.
84
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.160
To talk about this and other matters here, we have
85
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.920
a very special guest. Right now, we have a man
86
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:47.519
who is a legend in my mind. His name is
87
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.839
Larry Levine. He's founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants. He's
88
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.720
a former private investigator who operated a firm in LA
89
00:05:55.560 --> 00:06:01.720
and he basically got into some bad stuff and he
90
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:11.839
was convicted and on racketeering narcotics violations and he was
91
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:16.480
sentenced to a ten year federal prison term. During his
92
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.120
time in custody, Larry Levine, he served at eleven federal
93
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.839
correctional institutions across various security levels in five different states.
94
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.160
You personally experienced the confusion of fear that first time
95
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:33.439
offenders like Sean Diddy Combs will face when entering federal custody.
96
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.839
While incarcerated, this great man, Larry Levine began assisting fellow
97
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:43.040
and mates with their defense by reviewing legal documents, researching
98
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:47.800
case law, and explaining criminal defense strategies and possible sentencing departures.
99
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.439
Larry Levine joins us here on Breaking News Los Angeles.
100
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.639
Larry, are you there, Larry.
101
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.680
Thanks for joining us today. Were glad to have you.
102
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:04.120
And the truth of the matter is this man Combs,
103
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:08.439
when from the American dream to the American nightmare, what's
104
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:10.839
your thoughts right now?
105
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.759
Let me clarify a couple things, because I listened to
106
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.839
everything you said before you loop me in. There's something
107
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:22.160
called relevant conduct that the court uses.
108
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:23.199
Are you familiar with that?
109
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:23.759
Yes?
110
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:29.480
Okay, So that's why he got extra time, if you will,
111
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:34.360
because the court is allowed to consider conduct that you
112
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.240
were either acquitted of or was dismissed at the time
113
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.480
of sentencing. So that's why he had a weird sentence.
114
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.279
It actually could have been much worse. And as far
115
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.839
as time, I've already caughtulate, I've been on.
116
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:52.519
God knows how many news shows talking about vision did.
117
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.319
He's only going to be in about another twenty five
118
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.399
months because by the time you throw this douche bag
119
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.639
some good time, some community custody time, you throw him
120
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:10.199
some program time, he's not gonna serve that well, okay,
121
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:14.240
twenty five months. But the point is these days a
122
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.439
federal sentence isn't what it used to be, where they've
123
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.279
got all these different programs. You know, when I was
124
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:25.120
in custody, you did your time, you got some good time,
125
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:29.759
and then they booted your ass out. Now everybody's bitching
126
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.840
and whining I didn't get my extra daze here or there,
127
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:36.240
and I tell people they need to stuck it up.
128
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.840
And this is what I mean. I sent Diddy. I've
129
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:40.080
written several books.
130
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:45.080
Wrote a book very popular called Prison Politics one oh one.
131
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.320
You could find that on Amazon. I sent a copy
132
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.320
of this into Diddy. Also sent a copy of it
133
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.039
into you, just laying Maxwell and Luigi.
134
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.600
I know they got the book. Since then, it's been
135
00:08:58.639 --> 00:08:59.159
banned in.
136
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:02.279
The federal prison system because I taught people how to
137
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:07.360
manipulate the system. But did he needs to stop whining
138
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:13.159
and complaining. There's people in there that have served substantially
139
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:17.960
more time than him and will serve more time, and
140
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.039
nobody is going to get his give a shehn't really
141
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.080
about some guy that did?
142
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.440
He got really what a thirty six month sentence? You
143
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:28.799
follow what I'm saying.
144
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:29.919
Here, Yes, let's just take it.
145
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.480
Let me just you know what caught my eye this
146
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.840
yesterday was this opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal.
147
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.320
Would you check it were you able to see it?
148
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.120
Larry, you know what, I don't even.
149
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.240
Watch the shows I'm on all right?
150
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:48.519
This is written by Andrew George and Rebecca Brody of
151
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.759
the of the Wall Street Journal. Here's the head they are, Okay,
152
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.720
here's the headline, prison time for something did he didn't do?
153
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.559
The judge lengthened his sentence over conduct for.
154
00:09:58.519 --> 00:09:59.559
Which he was acquitted.
155
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.840
Few, like few likely blinked when a federal judge cited
156
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.200
coercion and abuse on as aggravating factors and did heycombe
157
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.919
sentencing to fifteen months in prison? After all, fifty month
158
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.000
is comfortably between the federal recommendation of eleven years and
159
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.320
three months and mister Comb's requests for fourteen months.
160
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.720
Now here's what they say. Here's the problem. The jury acquitted, this.
161
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.519
Is what they wrote in the journal here, and we
162
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.279
heard all the reports during the trial about mister Combe's
163
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.320
horrific conduct as you mentioned, Larry.
164
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:32.960
But here's the problem.
165
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:36.600
The jury acquitted mister Combs of the charges that allege
166
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:41.159
coercion and abuse. Mister Combs was convicted of two accounts
167
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.519
of transporting individuals for prostitution under the Man Act. He
168
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:50.279
was acquitted of the more serious charges racketeering, conspiracy and
169
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:55.840
sex trafficking involving coercion. Yet the judge repeatedly invoked coercion
170
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.320
during his sentencing. That kind of caught my eye. I
171
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:01.799
thought that would be something that would catch your eye
172
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.039
to Larry, what do you feel about that really are.
173
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.960
Let me give you a quick example. Let's say that
174
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.679
you go into a bank with a gun. I'm not
175
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.879
saying you're gonna do it, and this shit happens, and
176
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.840
they get you for bank robbery with a firearm, and
177
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.279
then they get you for the robbery and stealing the
178
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:22.039
money and all this shit. They'll stack the charges on you.
179
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.480
Then they make you sign a plea agreement, which is
180
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:29.879
generally worthless because the court's not even a party to it.
181
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:32.440
And they'll dismiss the gun charge.
182
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.240
I'll act like they're doing you a fucking favor, but
183
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:36.639
it doesn't mean anything.
184
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.159
But then when it comes time for sentencing, they use
185
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:42.799
relevant conduct.
186
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:47.440
Relevant conduct means, well, we may not have convicted you
187
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:47.960
on this.
188
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:50.120
But we know it really happens.
189
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.720
So under the law, because remember that's an Article three judge,
190
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:59.000
he's appointed for life, the judge is allowed to do that.
191
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.639
Did he could try to take this hit to an
192
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:07.039
appellate court, but they would have to show is he appealing?
193
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.279
Yes, they filed an immediate appeal.
194
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.360
Okay, wait, wait, so let's back up.
195
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.679
They would have to show that the judge abused his
196
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:21.480
discretion to win this not appeal, and the judge is
197
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.039
legally allowed to do this.
198
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:25.720
Now, did he's lawyer? Okay? Do you know what a
199
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:27.679
lawyer's job is? Do you really know?
200
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:30.320
I would think it would be to save your life
201
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:31.519
in a situation like this.
202
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:32.879
Go ahead, Not even going.
203
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.000
To give you point one credit, but I'm gonna go
204
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:36.960
ahead the opportunity to answer.
205
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.039
Do you know what a lawyer's job is?
206
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:42.320
I guess to get get you the best possible outcome.
207
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:43.120
Go ahead.
208
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:49.840
You feel a lawyer's job is to create billable hours?
209
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:50.840
Think about that.
210
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:56.519
Okay, so all this bullshit during Diddy's trial, Oh, we're going.
211
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:59.360
To try to get you out on bond, and we're
212
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.720
gonna do this, and we're going to do that.
213
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.720
The lawyer knew he wasn't fucking dinner. You remember, you could
214
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.440
file a most for anything, But what's the likelihood you're
215
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:14.120
going to prevail? The lawyer knew they weren't going to prevail,
216
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.440
but he told Diddy, will you have a chance, Well, yeah,
217
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.679
there is a chance. There's a chance Jesus could appear
218
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.320
in front of you and I right now simultaneously.
219
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.600
It's not likely it's going to happen.
220
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:29.519
So the lawyer is feeding Diddy a fucking pipe dream
221
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:32.960
as far as winning on an appeal, do you understand
222
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:33.840
what I'm saying here?
223
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:35.720
Yes, but the judge to.
224
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:36.759
Do these kids?
225
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:40.120
Okay, all right, So you're saying the appeal is a
226
00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:44.519
waste of time. Does he have a chance of getting
227
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:48.879
this getting this in the in the rear again from
228
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:51.840
the government where they could appeal this sentencing because it
229
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:56.120
was well, did he want to trial?
230
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:59.600
Okay, if you had, let's say, take in a plea agreement,
231
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.399
it would say in the plea agreement that you're giving
232
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.840
up your right to a collateral attack, and you're giving
233
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:07.039
up your right to appeal and all his bullshit.
234
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.960
But the fact that he went to trial and lost,
235
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:12.879
he didn't give up any of his appeal rights.
236
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:17.080
But on the other hand, the judge was legally within
237
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:22.679
his power to give Ditty that extra time based on
238
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:27.080
relevant conduct. Now here's something that fuck most people don't
239
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.960
know this. You may not even fucking know this. Do
240
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.240
you know that if a judge gives you too little
241
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.840
of time that the government can come in and appeal
242
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.039
it and say they want to give you extra time.
243
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:40.960
Have you ever heard of that?
244
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.440
Yes, I thought that's what I would just asked you if,
245
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:44.440
oh no, I did not.
246
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.120
You don't see the government coming in and really doing
247
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.759
anything other than fighting the appeal saying that Diddy is
248
00:14:54.799 --> 00:15:00.639
not essentially well, he's allowed to file it, but likelihood
249
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.799
of prevailing is almost like fucking zero.
250
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.480
All right, let me ask you this, Larry, So what.
251
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.559
How do you feel his legal team did overall?
252
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:12.519
Well?
253
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.399
I think they made a lot of money, So the
254
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:18.039
buildable hours, I think they did great. It all comes
255
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.879
down to the fucking dollar, doesn't it. I think that
256
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:26.159
they explored all the aspects of the case. They put
257
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:30.720
on a very good defense. I'm not quite sure though.
258
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:34.440
Is he going to have to register as a sex offender?
259
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:34.960
Do you know?
260
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.519
I was not told that. I have not read that anywhere.
261
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:40.320
See I'm trying.
262
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:45.120
To examine that myself because is it sex traffic I
263
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:49.120
know what the Man Act is. Okay, he transported across
264
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:52.360
state lines. It's like interstate transportation of people for the
265
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:57.759
purposes of sexual exploitation, So that kind of makes him.
266
00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:58.639
A sex offender.
267
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:04.240
This is why he will never see, or should not see,
268
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.120
a federal prison camp like a minimum security Do.
269
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:08.720
You know what that is?
270
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.440
Yes, yes, yes, okay, he.
271
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:16.679
Has public safety factors on him. Now, the fact that
272
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:22.399
he has no criminal history qualifies him for camp A
273
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:25.159
minimum security, a club fed they used to call.
274
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:28.320
It, and the low sentence and the lower sentence of course.
275
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:33.759
No criminal history, but it's the type of charges that
276
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.159
he has is what's going.
277
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:39.559
To fuck him. He's not going to be camp eligible.
278
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.279
But then, you know what, there's a lot.
279
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:45.360
Of crazy shit going on. Look at just Laying Maxwell.
280
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.840
She's not even a US citizen. She's there on.
281
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.519
A second charge, and she's sitting in a camp now,
282
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.200
which is almost like in words, I think Brian Texas.
283
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.600
He's hanging out with Losing Holmes. I've got some people
284
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:00.000
in there.
285
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:06.960
Yes, she's with uh, she's with Elizabeth Holmes and the
286
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:09.920
lady from the Shaw Lady from the Real Housewives of
287
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:10.559
Orange County.
288
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:11.160
She's in there.
289
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:17.519
But the point is that she shouldn't be there. Now
290
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.079
we know why she's there with this Trump nonsense.
291
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.920
They're trying to keep her fucking quiet. I mean, could
292
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:28.799
didn't he go to a camp? Tighly unlikely? Maybe if
293
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:32.519
he had something of value to trade. The Trump they're
294
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.920
all about trying to make this political realistic.
295
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:37.279
All right, Well, here here's the thing.
296
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:42.039
I'm I'm hopeful that I know I'm friends here with
297
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:46.319
Alice Johnson. She works for President Trump. Yes, she's a
298
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.680
friend here on Facebook. I was one of the first
299
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.079
people to connect with her. I am a supporter of
300
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.119
President Trump, so you know, so I'm considering. I reached
301
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:57.920
out to them to uh our friends over there at
302
00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:02.720
the part in office, uh, and we have not heard back.
303
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:08.079
But what I read today, Larry, is that President Trump
304
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.440
has received a request from Sean Dinny Coombe's legal team
305
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:12.559
for a pardon.
306
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:13.119
What do you think?
307
00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:15.559
What do you think the chances of that are of
308
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:16.920
that happening right now?
309
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:20.599
I believe there's something like seventeen.
310
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:25.000
Thousand pardoned applications that have defiled and have not been
311
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:26.279
work or resolved on.
312
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:28.799
Did you know that? Yes, I believe it. I know.
313
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:31.160
That's why Alice Johnson was brought in.
314
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:32.839
Do we move him.
315
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:36.319
To the front of the fucking stack? And why I've
316
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:39.400
got people that are in consany.
317
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.759
Just like him. They want to get a partner, but.
318
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.359
Generally you cannot even apply for a part until you've
319
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:50.640
been out of custody, you've completed your set.
320
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:54.599
What about a commutation, though, I would think of computation means.
321
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:58.799
That you still have a partner, like he alleviates everything,
322
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:01.039
you can own a gun again, and all this bullshit.
323
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:07.440
A commutation means that the sentence holds, but they're just
324
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:08.839
letting you out early.
325
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.839
That could happen, all right, what is the extenuine Okay,
326
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:14.559
give me a good reason.
327
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.359
I say this to fuck of people every day that
328
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.799
are speaking commutations and parties.
329
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:23.079
Give me a good reason why they should give it.
330
00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:25.039
All right, two things. Let me just say two things here.
331
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:28.039
First of all, I want to just be very clear
332
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.759
with everyone. I actually worked with Sean Combs on a
333
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:36.519
Nike commercial back in twenty thirteen with a big guy
334
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:41.079
named Chris Johnson from the Detroit Linebackers. So when I
335
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:43.720
worked with him, this guy was perfectly professional. If you
336
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:46.920
watch that video on YouTube, you'll see me in the
337
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:50.160
tuxedo in the Biltmore Hotel there with him speaking.
338
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:51.880
He was perfectly professional that day.
339
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:54.480
So you know I just said that. But I'm just
340
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:57.319
going to tell you right now, full disclosure, I've worked
341
00:19:57.359 --> 00:19:59.960
with him. I've never seen unprofessional behavior. It doesn't mean
342
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.160
that any of this did. I believe much of this happened,
343
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.519
what they're seeing happened. Uh so, you know, was he
344
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:11.880
convicted of his disgusting sex life? Is his despicable kinky
345
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:13.319
be uh parties?
346
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:16.720
No, not really. I think Larry, this man was.
347
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:21.599
Convicted of beating up the Cassie Ventur. That that terrible
348
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:25.480
tape that that that shows him beating this woman up badly,
349
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:29.119
And something that Mark Arago said on his podcast the
350
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.200
other day. I caught my ear in regards to your
351
00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:34.359
question that you just asked me, you know, what would
352
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.200
propel Trump to give him possibly.
353
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:39.559
A part in two things? One he was.
354
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:43.359
Definitely give me a good reason.
355
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.440
Okay, here's here's what.
356
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:50.079
Here's what I'm thinking, if you hear me on please,
357
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:54.839
is that Trump was hit with a tape, a bad
358
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:57.799
tape where he was talking, you know, he called it
359
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:01.559
locker talking. It was some private conversation that was caught
360
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:02.079
on tape.
361
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:03.480
Billy Bush.
362
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:08.279
His career was impacted very badly. Uh Yeah, Trump, his
363
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:11.920
his name was, was impacted badly after that by a
364
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.240
lot of women who really are angry at him still
365
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.480
for that tape.
366
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:19.559
Yes, sir, yes, sir.
367
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:21.559
Now this is what Garaghos brought up the other day
368
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:22.480
on his podcast at Hood.
369
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.400
It was an excellent point.
370
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:27.359
He said, you know, Trump got hit with a bad
371
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:30.920
tape and Diddy got hit with a bad tape.
372
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:33.079
And that's what this conviction was about.
373
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.480
If you look at this from from any legal standpoint
374
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:38.839
from Mark Errago, you know, not on the base on
375
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:41.440
the federal guidelines, which you're right on, he has every
376
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:43.960
right to certain zim to twenty years uh based on
377
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:46.640
the guidelines for the Man Act. But let's face it,
378
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.640
he was convicted for what happened in that tape. So
379
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:54.839
Geragos's train of thought is that Trump was hit with
380
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:58.839
a bad tape and it hurt his reputation for a while.
381
00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:02.240
And now did it. He is hit with this and
382
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:03.400
he has suffered. Now we
1
00:00:02.960 --> 00:00:06.799
Eric Renner here, Breaking News, Los Angeles. Welcome to our
2
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:11.919
Saturday night edition. Here our Saturday Night show. We had
3
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:16.920
a very big news week this last week, several big stories.
4
00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:21.399
They caught the lunatic who burned down half of Pacific
5
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:26.440
Palisades and killed eleven people, and they found that creep
6
00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:28.399
in Florida. We're going to get to him next week.
7
00:00:28.600 --> 00:00:31.239
We're going to get an update, hopefully from Kieran McAvoy
8
00:00:31.960 --> 00:00:35.640
over at the Department of Justice. I know they're going
9
00:00:35.719 --> 00:00:38.799
to be extraditing him from Florida. But this week, you know,
10
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.880
the big story really in many ways was this Sean Diddy.
11
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.039
Combe's character.
12
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:50.960
Just some hip hop rapper, a hip hop mogul they
13
00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:57.759
called him, and very big star, a real big celebrity name,
14
00:00:58.039 --> 00:01:01.000
and he got into some very big trouble. He found
15
00:01:01.079 --> 00:01:08.120
himself with a federal rico charge. Basically, well, what happened here,
16
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:13.200
we'll just go backwards here. On July second, a federal
17
00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:17.719
jury found Combs not guilty of racketeering conspiracy that's basically
18
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:22.480
greco and sex trafficking charges, but guilty on two counts
19
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:27.280
of transportation for purposes of prostitution that's violation of the
20
00:01:27.319 --> 00:01:33.359
Man Act. Very few people have been charged with the
21
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:37.040
Man Act in recent years. Basically that means you're moving
22
00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:40.159
people from one state to the next to have sex
23
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:42.480
with them. So this is what this guy was charged with.
24
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:47.760
The investigated. The investigation started on March twenty fifth, twenty
25
00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:53.519
twenty four. Federal agents questioned Combs at the Miami Airport
26
00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:57.239
sees a number of his devices before allowing him to
27
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:01.359
leave on his plantacation. The same day, Joe Biden's Department
28
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.959
of Homeland Security agents they raided Combe's properties in la
29
00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:09.840
New York and Miami. They confiscated computers. They came in
30
00:02:09.919 --> 00:02:15.039
with all these guns. It was almost I means they
31
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:18.240
came in looking for war, ready for war.
32
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:18.919
Now.
33
00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:21.719
What they ended up finding in Combs's homes was various
34
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:27.000
narcotics like ketamine, ecstasy, the GHB drug, as.
35
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:30.000
Well as a number of weapons, including three illegally.
36
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:33.759
Modified AR fifteens. They found a lot of lubricant, a
37
00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:38.000
lot of baby oil. So on the twenty fourth, I'm sorry,
38
00:02:38.000 --> 00:02:41.159
on the sixteenth of September twenty twenty four, did he
39
00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:46.879
was indicted by this grand jury on three counts of felonies, racineering, conspiracy,
40
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.319
sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion. He was arrested
41
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:55.639
by US Homeland Security investigators in Manhattan. Now he spent
42
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:00.840
thirteen months basically in Federal County jail. This is the
43
00:03:00.879 --> 00:03:06.080
Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. It's a disgusting place. They
44
00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:08.319
don't let you go outside. So the guy hasn't basically
45
00:03:08.319 --> 00:03:14.400
been outside in thirteen months now on Now again, the
46
00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:19.800
trial happened. The government couldn't prove their case. Basically, they
47
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:24.479
embarrassed themselves and wasted every buddy's time with us.
48
00:03:24.560 --> 00:03:26.919
This really wasn't a Rico case.
49
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.639
So what we're having, So what we have here.
50
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:33.879
Is now a verdict.
51
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:36.719
They came back, the jury came back with the not
52
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:39.240
guilty verdict on the RICO. They came back guilty on
53
00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:44.400
the Man Act, and he was facing twenty years. This
54
00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:48.759
is according to the federal sentencing guidelines. The judge came
55
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:50.439
in on the lower end.
56
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.199
Of these guidelines.
57
00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.479
So he came in basically and about I believe five
58
00:03:57.960 --> 00:04:02.280
fifty months, and so that's about about four point two
59
00:04:02.400 --> 00:04:09.840
five years I'm sorry, fifty one months. And basically you
60
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:14.479
can subtract the thirteen months that he's already done for
61
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.600
in county jail, in federal county jail, so he's looking
62
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:19.600
at about three.
63
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:21.639
Years on this sentence.
64
00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:26.639
And what we have now is a situation where the
65
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:29.560
judge basically acted like.
66
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.000
Another juror, a member of the juror.
67
00:04:32.079 --> 00:04:36.800
He took it upon himself to sentence this man and
68
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:38.879
give him a taste of celebrity justice.
69
00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:40.560
He saw a tape.
70
00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:42.920
There was a tape that was shown to the jury
71
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:48.600
of did he Comb's beating up his girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
72
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:51.240
It was a disgusting tape.
73
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:55.360
Everyone saw it and it really angered the jury and
74
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:59.360
the judge. But the truth of the matter is he
75
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:04.079
wasn't convin on beating up his girlfriend. He was convicted
76
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:10.839
of this man act, but sentenced basically on the contents
77
00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:15.360
of this video and of course the other testimony where
78
00:05:15.399 --> 00:05:20.959
he basically was accused of raping male escorts, having kinky
79
00:05:21.079 --> 00:05:26.000
sex parties in the hills there, and doing a lot
80
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:29.839
of sleazy things that are just not even worth mentioning
81
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.480
here on this show. It's all been out there, but
82
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:35.040
that's what the judge sentenced him.
83
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:35.399
Now.
84
00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:40.160
To talk about this and other matters here, we have
85
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.920
a very special guest. Right now, we have a man
86
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:47.519
who is a legend in my mind. His name is
87
00:05:47.600 --> 00:05:51.839
Larry Levine. He's founder of Wall Street Prison Consultants. He's
88
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.720
a former private investigator who operated a firm in LA
89
00:05:55.560 --> 00:06:01.720
and he basically got into some bad stuff and he
90
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:11.839
was convicted and on racketeering narcotics violations and he was
91
00:06:11.920 --> 00:06:16.480
sentenced to a ten year federal prison term. During his
92
00:06:16.560 --> 00:06:20.120
time in custody, Larry Levine, he served at eleven federal
93
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.839
correctional institutions across various security levels in five different states.
94
00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:28.160
You personally experienced the confusion of fear that first time
95
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:33.439
offenders like Sean Diddy Combs will face when entering federal custody.
96
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.839
While incarcerated, this great man, Larry Levine began assisting fellow
97
00:06:38.879 --> 00:06:43.040
and mates with their defense by reviewing legal documents, researching
98
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:47.800
case law, and explaining criminal defense strategies and possible sentencing departures.
99
00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:51.439
Larry Levine joins us here on Breaking News Los Angeles.
100
00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:55.639
Larry, are you there, Larry.
101
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.680
Thanks for joining us today. Were glad to have you.
102
00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:04.120
And the truth of the matter is this man Combs,
103
00:07:04.800 --> 00:07:08.439
when from the American dream to the American nightmare, what's
104
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:10.839
your thoughts right now?
105
00:07:11.279 --> 00:07:14.759
Let me clarify a couple things, because I listened to
106
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.839
everything you said before you loop me in. There's something
107
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:22.160
called relevant conduct that the court uses.
108
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:23.199
Are you familiar with that?
109
00:07:23.480 --> 00:07:23.759
Yes?
110
00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:29.480
Okay, So that's why he got extra time, if you will,
111
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:34.360
because the court is allowed to consider conduct that you
112
00:07:34.439 --> 00:07:38.240
were either acquitted of or was dismissed at the time
113
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:42.480
of sentencing. So that's why he had a weird sentence.
114
00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:46.279
It actually could have been much worse. And as far
115
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:49.839
as time, I've already caughtulate, I've been on.
116
00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:52.519
God knows how many news shows talking about vision did.
117
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:56.319
He's only going to be in about another twenty five
118
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.399
months because by the time you throw this douche bag
119
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.639
some good time, some community custody time, you throw him
120
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:10.199
some program time, he's not gonna serve that well, okay,
121
00:08:10.240 --> 00:08:14.240
twenty five months. But the point is these days a
122
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:18.439
federal sentence isn't what it used to be, where they've
123
00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.279
got all these different programs. You know, when I was
124
00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:25.120
in custody, you did your time, you got some good time,
125
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:29.759
and then they booted your ass out. Now everybody's bitching
126
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:32.840
and whining I didn't get my extra daze here or there,
127
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:36.240
and I tell people they need to stuck it up.
128
00:08:36.480 --> 00:08:38.840
And this is what I mean. I sent Diddy. I've
129
00:08:38.840 --> 00:08:40.080
written several books.
130
00:08:40.840 --> 00:08:45.080
Wrote a book very popular called Prison Politics one oh one.
131
00:08:45.879 --> 00:08:50.320
You could find that on Amazon. I sent a copy
132
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.320
of this into Diddy. Also sent a copy of it
133
00:08:53.399 --> 00:08:56.039
into you, just laying Maxwell and Luigi.
134
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.600
I know they got the book. Since then, it's been
135
00:08:58.639 --> 00:08:59.159
banned in.
136
00:08:59.120 --> 00:09:02.279
The federal prison system because I taught people how to
137
00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:07.360
manipulate the system. But did he needs to stop whining
138
00:09:07.559 --> 00:09:13.159
and complaining. There's people in there that have served substantially
139
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:17.960
more time than him and will serve more time, and
140
00:09:18.360 --> 00:09:21.039
nobody is going to get his give a shehn't really
141
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:24.080
about some guy that did?
142
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:27.440
He got really what a thirty six month sentence? You
143
00:09:27.519 --> 00:09:28.799
follow what I'm saying.
144
00:09:28.519 --> 00:09:29.919
Here, Yes, let's just take it.
145
00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:32.480
Let me just you know what caught my eye this
146
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:36.840
yesterday was this opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal.
147
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.320
Would you check it were you able to see it?
148
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.120
Larry, you know what, I don't even.
149
00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:44.240
Watch the shows I'm on all right?
150
00:09:44.639 --> 00:09:48.519
This is written by Andrew George and Rebecca Brody of
151
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.759
the of the Wall Street Journal. Here's the head they are, Okay,
152
00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.720
here's the headline, prison time for something did he didn't do?
153
00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:58.559
The judge lengthened his sentence over conduct for.
154
00:09:58.519 --> 00:09:59.559
Which he was acquitted.
155
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.840
Few, like few likely blinked when a federal judge cited
156
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:07.200
coercion and abuse on as aggravating factors and did heycombe
157
00:10:07.200 --> 00:10:10.919
sentencing to fifteen months in prison? After all, fifty month
158
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:15.000
is comfortably between the federal recommendation of eleven years and
159
00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:18.320
three months and mister Comb's requests for fourteen months.
160
00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.720
Now here's what they say. Here's the problem. The jury acquitted, this.
161
00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.519
Is what they wrote in the journal here, and we
162
00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:29.279
heard all the reports during the trial about mister Combe's
163
00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:31.320
horrific conduct as you mentioned, Larry.
164
00:10:31.759 --> 00:10:32.960
But here's the problem.
165
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:36.600
The jury acquitted mister Combs of the charges that allege
166
00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:41.159
coercion and abuse. Mister Combs was convicted of two accounts
167
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:44.519
of transporting individuals for prostitution under the Man Act. He
168
00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:50.279
was acquitted of the more serious charges racketeering, conspiracy and
169
00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:55.840
sex trafficking involving coercion. Yet the judge repeatedly invoked coercion
170
00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:59.320
during his sentencing. That kind of caught my eye. I
171
00:10:59.759 --> 00:11:01.799
thought that would be something that would catch your eye
172
00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:04.039
to Larry, what do you feel about that really are.
173
00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:06.960
Let me give you a quick example. Let's say that
174
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.679
you go into a bank with a gun. I'm not
175
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:13.879
saying you're gonna do it, and this shit happens, and
176
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:16.840
they get you for bank robbery with a firearm, and
177
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.279
then they get you for the robbery and stealing the
178
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:22.039
money and all this shit. They'll stack the charges on you.
179
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:25.480
Then they make you sign a plea agreement, which is
180
00:11:25.559 --> 00:11:29.879
generally worthless because the court's not even a party to it.
181
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:32.440
And they'll dismiss the gun charge.
182
00:11:32.480 --> 00:11:35.240
I'll act like they're doing you a fucking favor, but
183
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:36.639
it doesn't mean anything.
184
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.159
But then when it comes time for sentencing, they use
185
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:42.799
relevant conduct.
186
00:11:43.039 --> 00:11:47.440
Relevant conduct means, well, we may not have convicted you
187
00:11:47.519 --> 00:11:47.960
on this.
188
00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:50.120
But we know it really happens.
189
00:11:50.679 --> 00:11:54.720
So under the law, because remember that's an Article three judge,
190
00:11:54.759 --> 00:11:59.000
he's appointed for life, the judge is allowed to do that.
191
00:12:00.399 --> 00:12:02.639
Did he could try to take this hit to an
192
00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:07.039
appellate court, but they would have to show is he appealing?
193
00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:10.279
Yes, they filed an immediate appeal.
194
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:12.360
Okay, wait, wait, so let's back up.
195
00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:16.679
They would have to show that the judge abused his
196
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:21.480
discretion to win this not appeal, and the judge is
197
00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:23.039
legally allowed to do this.
198
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:25.720
Now, did he's lawyer? Okay? Do you know what a
199
00:12:25.759 --> 00:12:27.679
lawyer's job is? Do you really know?
200
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:30.320
I would think it would be to save your life
201
00:12:30.320 --> 00:12:31.519
in a situation like this.
202
00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:32.879
Go ahead, Not even going.
203
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.000
To give you point one credit, but I'm gonna go
204
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:36.960
ahead the opportunity to answer.
205
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.039
Do you know what a lawyer's job is?
206
00:12:39.480 --> 00:12:42.320
I guess to get get you the best possible outcome.
207
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:43.120
Go ahead.
208
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:49.840
You feel a lawyer's job is to create billable hours?
209
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:50.840
Think about that.
210
00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:56.519
Okay, so all this bullshit during Diddy's trial, Oh, we're going.
211
00:12:56.480 --> 00:12:59.360
To try to get you out on bond, and we're
212
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:01.720
gonna do this, and we're going to do that.
213
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:05.720
The lawyer knew he wasn't fucking dinner. You remember, you could
214
00:13:05.720 --> 00:13:09.440
file a most for anything, But what's the likelihood you're
215
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:14.120
going to prevail? The lawyer knew they weren't going to prevail,
216
00:13:14.639 --> 00:13:17.440
but he told Diddy, will you have a chance, Well, yeah,
217
00:13:17.480 --> 00:13:20.679
there is a chance. There's a chance Jesus could appear
218
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:23.320
in front of you and I right now simultaneously.
219
00:13:23.759 --> 00:13:25.600
It's not likely it's going to happen.
220
00:13:26.159 --> 00:13:29.519
So the lawyer is feeding Diddy a fucking pipe dream
221
00:13:29.559 --> 00:13:32.960
as far as winning on an appeal, do you understand
222
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:33.840
what I'm saying here?
223
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:35.720
Yes, but the judge to.
224
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:36.759
Do these kids?
225
00:13:36.840 --> 00:13:40.120
Okay, all right, So you're saying the appeal is a
226
00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:44.519
waste of time. Does he have a chance of getting
227
00:13:44.559 --> 00:13:48.879
this getting this in the in the rear again from
228
00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:51.840
the government where they could appeal this sentencing because it
229
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:56.120
was well, did he want to trial?
230
00:13:56.399 --> 00:13:59.600
Okay, if you had, let's say, take in a plea agreement,
231
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:02.399
it would say in the plea agreement that you're giving
232
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:04.840
up your right to a collateral attack, and you're giving
233
00:14:04.919 --> 00:14:07.039
up your right to appeal and all his bullshit.
234
00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.960
But the fact that he went to trial and lost,
235
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:12.879
he didn't give up any of his appeal rights.
236
00:14:13.159 --> 00:14:17.080
But on the other hand, the judge was legally within
237
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:22.679
his power to give Ditty that extra time based on
238
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:27.080
relevant conduct. Now here's something that fuck most people don't
239
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.960
know this. You may not even fucking know this. Do
240
00:14:30.000 --> 00:14:33.240
you know that if a judge gives you too little
241
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.840
of time that the government can come in and appeal
242
00:14:37.879 --> 00:14:40.039
it and say they want to give you extra time.
243
00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:40.960
Have you ever heard of that?
244
00:14:41.159 --> 00:14:43.440
Yes, I thought that's what I would just asked you if,
245
00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:44.440
oh no, I did not.
246
00:14:46.200 --> 00:14:50.120
You don't see the government coming in and really doing
247
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:54.759
anything other than fighting the appeal saying that Diddy is
248
00:14:54.799 --> 00:15:00.639
not essentially well, he's allowed to file it, but likelihood
249
00:15:00.639 --> 00:15:03.799
of prevailing is almost like fucking zero.
250
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:06.480
All right, let me ask you this, Larry, So what.
251
00:15:07.919 --> 00:15:11.559
How do you feel his legal team did overall?
252
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:12.519
Well?
253
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.399
I think they made a lot of money, So the
254
00:15:14.440 --> 00:15:18.039
buildable hours, I think they did great. It all comes
255
00:15:18.039 --> 00:15:20.879
down to the fucking dollar, doesn't it. I think that
256
00:15:21.200 --> 00:15:26.159
they explored all the aspects of the case. They put
257
00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:30.720
on a very good defense. I'm not quite sure though.
258
00:15:31.639 --> 00:15:34.440
Is he going to have to register as a sex offender?
259
00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:34.960
Do you know?
260
00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:38.519
I was not told that. I have not read that anywhere.
261
00:15:38.600 --> 00:15:40.320
See I'm trying.
262
00:15:40.039 --> 00:15:45.120
To examine that myself because is it sex traffic I
263
00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:49.120
know what the Man Act is. Okay, he transported across
264
00:15:49.159 --> 00:15:52.360
state lines. It's like interstate transportation of people for the
265
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:57.759
purposes of sexual exploitation, So that kind of makes him.
266
00:15:57.679 --> 00:15:58.639
A sex offender.
267
00:15:59.440 --> 00:16:04.240
This is why he will never see, or should not see,
268
00:16:04.799 --> 00:16:08.120
a federal prison camp like a minimum security Do.
269
00:16:08.039 --> 00:16:08.720
You know what that is?
270
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.440
Yes, yes, yes, okay, he.
271
00:16:11.519 --> 00:16:16.679
Has public safety factors on him. Now, the fact that
272
00:16:16.840 --> 00:16:22.399
he has no criminal history qualifies him for camp A
273
00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:25.159
minimum security, a club fed they used to call.
274
00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:28.320
It, and the low sentence and the lower sentence of course.
275
00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:33.759
No criminal history, but it's the type of charges that
276
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:36.159
he has is what's going.
277
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:39.559
To fuck him. He's not going to be camp eligible.
278
00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:42.279
But then, you know what, there's a lot.
279
00:16:42.120 --> 00:16:45.360
Of crazy shit going on. Look at just Laying Maxwell.
280
00:16:45.440 --> 00:16:48.840
She's not even a US citizen. She's there on.
281
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.519
A second charge, and she's sitting in a camp now,
282
00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:56.200
which is almost like in words, I think Brian Texas.
283
00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.600
He's hanging out with Losing Holmes. I've got some people
284
00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:00.000
in there.
285
00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:06.960
Yes, she's with uh, she's with Elizabeth Holmes and the
286
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:09.920
lady from the Shaw Lady from the Real Housewives of
287
00:17:09.960 --> 00:17:10.559
Orange County.
288
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:11.160
She's in there.
289
00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:17.519
But the point is that she shouldn't be there. Now
290
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:22.079
we know why she's there with this Trump nonsense.
291
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:25.920
They're trying to keep her fucking quiet. I mean, could
292
00:17:25.960 --> 00:17:28.799
didn't he go to a camp? Tighly unlikely? Maybe if
293
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:32.519
he had something of value to trade. The Trump they're
294
00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:35.920
all about trying to make this political realistic.
295
00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:37.279
All right, Well, here here's the thing.
296
00:17:37.319 --> 00:17:42.039
I'm I'm hopeful that I know I'm friends here with
297
00:17:42.079 --> 00:17:46.319
Alice Johnson. She works for President Trump. Yes, she's a
298
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.680
friend here on Facebook. I was one of the first
299
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.079
people to connect with her. I am a supporter of
300
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.119
President Trump, so you know, so I'm considering. I reached
301
00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:57.920
out to them to uh our friends over there at
302
00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:02.720
the part in office, uh, and we have not heard back.
303
00:18:03.519 --> 00:18:08.079
But what I read today, Larry, is that President Trump
304
00:18:08.119 --> 00:18:11.440
has received a request from Sean Dinny Coombe's legal team
305
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:12.559
for a pardon.
306
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:13.119
What do you think?
307
00:18:13.759 --> 00:18:15.559
What do you think the chances of that are of
308
00:18:15.559 --> 00:18:16.920
that happening right now?
309
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:20.599
I believe there's something like seventeen.
310
00:18:20.119 --> 00:18:25.000
Thousand pardoned applications that have defiled and have not been
311
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:26.279
work or resolved on.
312
00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:28.799
Did you know that? Yes, I believe it. I know.
313
00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:31.160
That's why Alice Johnson was brought in.
314
00:18:31.480 --> 00:18:32.839
Do we move him.
315
00:18:32.680 --> 00:18:36.319
To the front of the fucking stack? And why I've
316
00:18:36.359 --> 00:18:39.400
got people that are in consany.
317
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.759
Just like him. They want to get a partner, but.
318
00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:47.359
Generally you cannot even apply for a part until you've
319
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:50.640
been out of custody, you've completed your set.
320
00:18:50.799 --> 00:18:54.599
What about a commutation, though, I would think of computation means.
321
00:18:54.319 --> 00:18:58.799
That you still have a partner, like he alleviates everything,
322
00:18:58.839 --> 00:19:01.039
you can own a gun again, and all this bullshit.
323
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:07.440
A commutation means that the sentence holds, but they're just
324
00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:08.839
letting you out early.
325
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.839
That could happen, all right, what is the extenuine Okay,
326
00:19:13.079 --> 00:19:14.559
give me a good reason.
327
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.359
I say this to fuck of people every day that
328
00:19:17.440 --> 00:19:19.799
are speaking commutations and parties.
329
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:23.079
Give me a good reason why they should give it.
330
00:19:23.079 --> 00:19:25.039
All right, two things. Let me just say two things here.
331
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:28.039
First of all, I want to just be very clear
332
00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:30.759
with everyone. I actually worked with Sean Combs on a
333
00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:36.519
Nike commercial back in twenty thirteen with a big guy
334
00:19:36.599 --> 00:19:41.079
named Chris Johnson from the Detroit Linebackers. So when I
335
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:43.720
worked with him, this guy was perfectly professional. If you
336
00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:46.920
watch that video on YouTube, you'll see me in the
337
00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:50.160
tuxedo in the Biltmore Hotel there with him speaking.
338
00:19:50.160 --> 00:19:51.880
He was perfectly professional that day.
339
00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:54.480
So you know I just said that. But I'm just
340
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:57.319
going to tell you right now, full disclosure, I've worked
341
00:19:57.359 --> 00:19:59.960
with him. I've never seen unprofessional behavior. It doesn't mean
342
00:20:00.599 --> 00:20:03.160
that any of this did. I believe much of this happened,
343
00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.519
what they're seeing happened. Uh so, you know, was he
344
00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:11.880
convicted of his disgusting sex life? Is his despicable kinky
345
00:20:11.960 --> 00:20:13.319
be uh parties?
346
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:16.720
No, not really. I think Larry, this man was.
347
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:21.599
Convicted of beating up the Cassie Ventur. That that terrible
348
00:20:21.640 --> 00:20:25.480
tape that that that shows him beating this woman up badly,
349
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:29.119
And something that Mark Arago said on his podcast the
350
00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:32.200
other day. I caught my ear in regards to your
351
00:20:32.279 --> 00:20:34.359
question that you just asked me, you know, what would
352
00:20:34.640 --> 00:20:37.200
propel Trump to give him possibly.
353
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:39.559
A part in two things? One he was.
354
00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:43.359
Definitely give me a good reason.
355
00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:47.440
Okay, here's here's what.
356
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:50.079
Here's what I'm thinking, if you hear me on please,
357
00:20:50.799 --> 00:20:54.839
is that Trump was hit with a tape, a bad
358
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:57.799
tape where he was talking, you know, he called it
359
00:20:57.839 --> 00:21:01.559
locker talking. It was some private conversation that was caught
360
00:21:01.599 --> 00:21:02.079
on tape.
361
00:21:02.839 --> 00:21:03.480
Billy Bush.
362
00:21:03.519 --> 00:21:08.279
His career was impacted very badly. Uh Yeah, Trump, his
363
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:11.920
his name was, was impacted badly after that by a
364
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:15.240
lot of women who really are angry at him still
365
00:21:15.279 --> 00:21:18.480
for that tape.
366
00:21:18.599 --> 00:21:19.559
Yes, sir, yes, sir.
367
00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:21.559
Now this is what Garaghos brought up the other day
368
00:21:21.559 --> 00:21:22.480
on his podcast at Hood.
369
00:21:22.519 --> 00:21:23.400
It was an excellent point.
370
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:27.359
He said, you know, Trump got hit with a bad
371
00:21:27.400 --> 00:21:30.920
tape and Diddy got hit with a bad tape.
372
00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:33.079
And that's what this conviction was about.
373
00:21:33.519 --> 00:21:36.480
If you look at this from from any legal standpoint
374
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:38.839
from Mark Errago, you know, not on the base on
375
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:41.440
the federal guidelines, which you're right on, he has every
376
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:43.960
right to certain zim to twenty years uh based on
377
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:46.640
the guidelines for the Man Act. But let's face it,
378
00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:50.640
he was convicted for what happened in that tape. So
379
00:21:51.039 --> 00:21:54.839
Geragos's train of thought is that Trump was hit with
380
00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:58.839
a bad tape and it hurt his reputation for a while.
381
00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:02.240
And now did it. He is hit with this and
382
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:03.400
he has suffered. Now we
